WHAT TO BRING/HOW TO ARRIVE
We recommend bringing sunscreen, a hat or sunglasses, and a reusable bottle to stay hydrated. If you forget your bottle, there will be a (very) limited supply of Hope Spot water bottles for sale and water fountains nearby. We encourage a reduced use of fossil fuels, so carpooling, biking, walking and skateboarding are all highly encouraged!

Cool side note – If you approach the causeway from the east on Curlew Rd, check out the new artwork on the water tower! Inspired by the Florida Gulf Coast Hope Spot and Dunedin’s Hope Spot “Home City” designation, Henry the Gopher tortoise has been partially completed!
